The act of feeling content is a virtue. Whether an individual is on their way down or climbing up, a person must be content in their present moment or they always be chasing a problem. At no time will they be happy. Being content means realizing things can always get worse. Even when anything in life would be better, to be thankful for the position to desire more. We’re still here, make peace with that. If the storm is not calmed within, we will carry it everywhere, effecting everything. Being content means gratitude for all we have, even if all we have is suffering.
